Ihram for one who has performed 'Umrah, then went to al-Madinah and intends to perform Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He circumambulated for an hour and thought we should enter the state of ihram from al-Madinah, but he is returning and has not entered the state of ihram from al-Madinah.
The Shaykh:
The most cautious course for him is to enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah, or for Hajj, from al-Madinah. If he goes to al-Madinah after his 'Umrah and then intends to return, the most cautious course for him is to enter the state of ihram for Hajj from al-Madinah, or for a new 'Umrah. This is based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): "They are for them, and for whoever comes to them from among those who are not their relatives, from among those who intend Hajj, from al-Madinah." This man came from al-Madinah intending Hajj, so the most cautious course for him in this case is to enter the state of ihram for a new 'Umrah, or for Hajj, and remain in his state of ihram until he completes the Hajj, because he has already performed the first 'Umrah.
Therefore, he should be cautious regarding his religion; because he has now come from al-Madinah and passed by the miqat intending Hajj, what he should do in this situation is to enter the state of ihram. If he does not enter the state of ihram, and only enters it upon reaching Makkah, we hope that nothing is required of him, due to the doubt, because he has already performed the ritual, meaning he has performed the ritual of 'Umrah. If he pays a fidyah as a precaution, if he pays it for missing the miqat, that is good, if Allah wills, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): "Leave what makes you doubt for what does not make you doubt, and that is the most cautious way to guard against sin." Because it appears that it is obligatory for him to enter the state of ihram in al-Madinah, since he came intending Hajj from al-Madinah, he should enter the state of ihram from the miqat.
The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe, there is nothing on you.
The Shaykh:
If you enter the state of ihram, enter it.
